Abstract:
The influence of column stiffness on the discontinuity forces between ring-beam and column in silo design is examined. The general case is derived, and it is shown that previous results published by others can be obtained as special cases of the present paper's results. The implications on practical design are discussed, and an example is given to illustrate the procedure.
